The dilapidated single-family home at 1408 19th Avenue has seen better days, with front steps that have been in a state of disrepair since at least 2002.

In and out of default since 2010, a foreclosure auction is scheduled for the 1,812-square-foot home tomorrow morning, August 11, with $218,745.92 in past due debt and fees now owed and the likely opening bid.

And with respect to the adjacent gas station site to the north, it’s zoned for building up to 40-feet in height and residential use, but plans for redeveloping the site have yet to be proposed.

Wonder what the inside looks like. Driven by this house a thousand times and have always been hoping someone would clean it up. I can see it now, though: full IKEA kitchen and Home Depot special finishes everywhere.

Auction.com probably the worst trustee and people in the foreclosure business since Boss Hogg kept trying to foreclose on the Duke’s farmhouse house on the Duke’s Of Hazard. For those in the know, watch these clowns in action. Shill bidders, secret sales, sales disappearing off the website as cancelled, then they go to sale.

UPDATE: Listed for $725,000 at the beginning of the year, the asking price for the “Victorian Style single family residence…in need of complete restoration” at 1408 19th Avenue has just been reduced to $699,500.
